Update as of January 2023

In order to avoid multiple upload of assets, i.e. files such as documents or images, we slightly changed the approach and now recommend to start with the upload to the Asset Library and afterwards “Choose existing entry” when you make a local upload to publish it to your local websites.

Please find the details in presentation below.

There are a few reasons to first upload the assets in the Assets library and to create the needed Entries in a second step. One reason may be, if a dedicated Central Content Manager needs to upload several assets (mainly documents) in one go. Also, this allows you to create your own folder structure in the Assets library to organize your uploads.

Where am I?

Content Types

Check the menu with the red background. The active section is highlighted. Below the breadcrumb starts with “Content Types”.

Assets

...

The breadcrumb start with “Assets”.

In the detail view of an asset, the form always looks the same.
